Pinetta's European Restaurant

Italian might not be the kind of cuisine you associate with Baton Rouge, but sometimes, you just need a plate of warm pasta that doesn't come from a box. That’s where Pinetta’s comes in, a romantic Old World restaurant that also counts German and Turkish cuisines as its culinary influences. The house lasagna, a neatly stacked square of pasta, cheese, and red sauce served in a piping hot cast-iron skillet, is a must-order.
